*Although Coaching services are available to clients everywhere, unfortunately I am only fluent in English. If you wish to proceed in coaching with AHPC but do not speak English we can explore the possibility of interpreter services or translation apps.
The Absolute Happiness approach to Life Coaching assumes that every person no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they have done in life can achieve happiness. We help you acclimate to this knowing through a self-actualization process of slowing down and exploring profound questions like, “Who are you, really?’ and “How does that version of you live?”, questions that create space and permission for you to determine for yourself how to embody that true self.
The Absolute Happiness approach to Wellbeing Coaching starts with this question: Are you well? If you are living with a sense of scarcity the answer is “no” or “not really”.
Together we determine where you are now on the 4 Pillars of Wellness then illustrate how future you wants to live in those pillars. Through reflective practices we help you identify clear actionable steps to realize true wellness and feelings of abundance.
This is our approach because “You can’t do anything well without wellness and you can do anything and everything with abundance”
Grounded in Buddhist philosophy & Humanism and using proven self-discovery and change strategies of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), Matrix Reprocessing, 12-step models of change, SMART goals, Narrative and Solution oriented approaches among others, my coaching method helps clients clarify goals and clear the mental and generational barriers to achieving those goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
So what is coaching anyway?
ICF defines Coaching as “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
That sounds a lot like therapy, what’s the difference?
A major difference between Coaching and Psychotherapy is that while Psychotherapy is a medical service that involves the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions, Coaching is not a medical service and does NOT diagnose or treat any mental or medical health issues. In fact, if a mental health issue interferes with the coaching relationship, a referral to a therapist is warranted and coaching services may pause to prioritize safety.
While Coaching can trace its origins to the field of Psychotherapy and therefore shares some traditions and approaches, an important distinction is that Coaching is not focused on what is ‘wrong’ with the mind or body (problem focused). Instead Coaching focuses on highlighting the beauty of humanity and the specific strengths, goals, and values of the individual client as well as how you fit in to the your communities and the world at large.
What Coaching is NOT-
Many people confuse coaching with Mentoring which the ICF defines as “a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.” A coach rides alongside a client, asking the questions that have never been asked in order to serve as a mirror to the true self. You have every single answer you will ever need! My job is to ask you to verbalize it and sit with the hearing. While a coach may occasionally provide a brief piece of information or teach a useful skill, a coach is more likely to ask, “where might you find that information”, “what do you think the solution is” or “how might you get some ideas on that” because you already have all the knowings.
What can Life and Wellbeing Coaching do for me?
The short answer is whatever you wish. There are many types of coaching, some focused on business entrepreneurship, team management, health, nutrition, athleticism, etc. IFC certified coaches are trained to coach anyone on anything due to a non-directive approach and the view that the client is the expert. However, most coaches niche or select a specific area of practice. Life and Wellbeing Coaches specialize in helping clients uncover their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. Erickson Coaching International says this about Health and Wellness Coaching “assists clients to overcome physical and mental blocks that result in negative mindsets…bring their mind to balance…[and] feel better about themselves, both in mind and body" You can access the full article here Erickson International 20 Coaching Niches

****Please note that due to professional ethics and healthy boundaries Andrea Tolbert cannot coach clients who have engaged in a psychotherapy session with her within the last 12 months. A coaching client can immediately move to a higher level of care to become a psychotherapy client but a psychotherapy client cannot move to a lower level of care to become a coaching client until a year has passed.
